First Artwork of 2009

Friday, January 2nd, 2009

Oscar Wilde famously quipped “Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life.”
When an artist allows the creative process to trump the ho-hum banalities of everyday life, there can be some interesting results.
What if the act of making art could cast the mold for a year in the making?
What if the choice of a [...]

Working it out w GoDaddy @ WordPress

Check the Skyaak R&D sister site. This is strictly an experiment, in a total state of flux.

People still tell me that it’s a good-looking site,

but everyone around here believes it’s time for an extreme makeover.
For one thing, mind-mapping

and eye-maps tell us that the logo-man ought to be chucking the Skyaak up to the upper left-hand side [...]

Google ‘Maker’ Christmas Art take 3

Wednesday, December 24th, 2008

Here’s today’s Google ‘Maker’ art. Looks like things are heating up, you can see that they are getting some steam happening. Whatever it is they are making, it appears to be working!
Speaking of ‘making’, you can make your own Skyaak DIY deuce…the cool ring-wing glider that you can download, laminate, custom-decorate, cut out, build and [...]

Skyaak Skinny

Why in the world would a grown man get up every morning with a spring in his step, all excited to carry on with the continuous evolution of an offbeat, odd-ball, esoteric idea like a ‘ring-wing’ glider?
That is a question I asked myself today as I went about my day…
